Oh, this is good! Transition in the background and shapes in the foreground are very nice. I'm only debating with myself whether I'd have wanted the tip of the leaf sharp too, as was my first thought. But maybe this effect works better. -Maarten.

Thank you Penny and Chris. This was hand held. jano

Really nice tones - and the droplets on both sides of the leaf makes this even more special. Penny Street

Its a great shot jano. Did you shoot this handheld or with a tripod?

Thanks all for commenting. I'm rather proud of this shot as not only did I shoot in manual (as I usually do although I'm experimenting with AV now), but I was also forced to focus manually as the breeze would not allow an accurate auto focus. Trying to catch those drops before they blew away was another challenge. jano

This shot has a beautiful calming zen quality to it. Beautiful tone of green and I concure that the negative space works reall well.

The soft negative space serves this very well. Excellent. -Doug

Nice shapes, waves and varied reflections. Droplets both over and under the leaf makes this special.

Less is more. My eye is fixated by the small droplets.
